Over the last two years, Casali has provided pre-construction services for the substantial renovation and addition to the historic Cambridge Gas and Light Building located in the heart of Central Square, Cambridge, consulting for the regulatory outreach, permitting, and approval processes. The project envisions the transformation of the Cambridge Gas and Light Building at 727 Massachusetts Avenue, with respectful massing and setbacks to preserve the dominance of the historic structure.

The project will result in the renovation and rehabilitation of a significant 1927 building, increasing and improving access to ground floor retail space on Massachusetts Avenue, improved office space, and the introduction of a new elegant, sophisticated and intimate 37-room boutique hotel to serve and reinforce the diversity and vibrancy of Central Square.

Final special permit approvals are pending, and construction is expected to commence in 2021.
